| Building a kayak using the composite method is a very labor-intensive process. In the Fabrication Department, the kayaks go through | |||||||||||
| several steps as employees carefully place layers of Kevlar in a mold and then use resin to fuse together the layers. The excess resin is | |||||||||||
| removed with a vacuum process, and the upper shell and lower shell are removed from the molds and assembled. The seat, hatch, and other | |||||||||||
| components are added in the Finishing Department. | |||||||||||
| At the beginning of April, Current Designs had 30 kayaks in process in the Fabrication Department. Rick Thrune, the production manager, | |||||||||||
| estimated that about 80% of the material costs had been added to these boats, which were about 50% complete with respect to the conversion | |||||||||||
| costs. The costs of this inventory had been calculated to be $8,400 in materials and $9,000 in conversion costs. | |||||||||||
| During April, 72 boats were started. At the end of the month, the 35 kayaks in the ending inventory had 20% of the materials and 40% of | |||||||||||
| the conversion costs added to them. | |||||||||||
| A review of the accounting records for April showed that materials with a cost of $17,500 had been requisitioned by the Fabrication | |||||||||||
| Department and that the conversion costs for the month were $39,600. | |||||||||||

| 1. | Assume that 25 kayaks remained in ending work in process and conversion costs incurred during the period changed to 42,500. | ||||||||||
| $60,000. Show the impact of this change on the calculation of equivalent units, unit cost, and on the cost reconciliation schedule. | |||||||||||
